DIY eDrum

[Vlex]

Kon m niet op het forum vinden, en kan t niet laten om t niet te delen, wat een onwijs vet project!!

Voor 60 euro heb je een trigger naar midi converter, hoef je er alleen nog maar piezo elementen aan te hangen (met trommels hihat of pads ofzo)

eDrum design is based on PIC16F877 microcontroller from Microchip, 16x2 LCD with backlight, and some operational amplifiers. It has 15 analog inputs, 2 digital inputs, 14 input gain potentiometers, 4 control buttons, one MIDI out and one serial RS-232 out.

The goal for this design was to use easy to find and cheap electronic components, while maintaining results at the proffessional levels. I also wanted the design to be modular and easily expandable. This has been achieved by using PIC microcontroller and carefully designed firmware, written in assembly language.

It was not my intention to design an instrument that already exist and is relatively cheap, like DM5. Instead, my idea was to take advantage of equipment we already own (computers with soundcards, synths, samplers,...) to produce the drum sound. So, all that is needed is... Trigger-to-MIDI conversion. Because of that, eDrum will not offer any drumkits or sounds.
